The people of Scotland are said to be having an identity crisis after it turns out the haggis was in fact invented in Lancashire, England.
This was further confounded by the fact that the bagpipes originated in the middle east and the kilt was just something gay Gordon fancied wearing.

that original pasties had meat n veg in one end and a sweet in the other? like a complete meal in one pie....

also i am led to believe that they were made with the large folded crust to be used as a handle, so the tin miners could hold the crust and eat without the need to wash hands etc and then would throw the crust away rather than eat 'contaminated' food... this may be true, or it may just be rumour and old wives stories... not sure..

Come on me aaandsome. Everyone knows that Paaaasties weren't actually "invented". They were "discovered" by the Dewdney Brothers when they were playing bowls against Francis Drake on Plymouth Hoe.

of the pasty is that the tin miners used to eat the soft bit of the pasty then chuck the hard crusty bit down the mine as a sort of gift for the piskies. sort of fiaries/little people or some such [bit like gremlins]... RAF sort not the film sort] who lived down the mines and would cause all sorts of bother if they didnt get the odd gift.
